4.90 mm Solid Carbide Drill
The M.A. Ford Twister XD 5X is a solid carbide drill bit engineered for high-performance drilling applications. It targets machinists and maintenance technicians who require precise holemaking in demanding materials. The 5X diameter-to-length ratio provides extended reach while maintaining rigidity during operation.
Capacity and headroom at 4.90 mm
This drill comfortably handles production drilling in steel, stainless steel, and cast iron where coolant-through capability is not available. The solid carbide construction resists wear at elevated temperatures, allowing higher cutting speeds than high-speed steel alternatives. It reaches its limit in deep-hole applications exceeding the 5X ratio or when machining highly abrasive non-ferrous alloys that demand specialised geometries.
Upgrade from general-purpose bits
The Twister XD 5X replaces standard jobber-length high-speed steel drills when hole accuracy and tool life become critical. The jump is worth it for repeatable batch work where reduced cycle times and fewer tool changes offset the higher initial cost. It is not suited for hand-held drilling or intermittent low-speed use where carbide brittleness increases breakage risk.

Questions about this item
Will the 4.90 mm Twister XD 5X carbide drill fit the collet on my existing drill press?
The drill has a 4.90 mm cutting diameter; check your machine's chuck or collet capacity to confirm it accepts that shank size.
How can I verify the 2XDSR1929A drill is cutting correctly after installation?
Look for consistent chip formation, steady feed force, and a clean hole finish at the recommended speed for the material.
Does the 2XDSR1929A package include any coolant or holder, or must I buy them separately?
The product is supplied as the solid carbide drill only; coolant, tool holders and collets are sold separately.
